Here is a picture of Nicklaus at the delivery position.

The right forearm points outside the ball, what am I missing? I ask because I use the TSP like Nicklaus and my arm is very similar at the same position. I asked someone else knowledgeable with teh golf swing and they stated that they teach all their students to have the right forearm on plane at the delivery position because you have to rely on wrist action into impact when it is not. I just am wondering if the book is correct and its a fault that I should attempt to fix.
You are mixing up the on-plane stuff a bit which is easy to do in the machine . . . . here you see Jack's right forearm and shaft IN-THE-SAME-PLANE . . . model right forearm flying wedge alignment . . . . the right forearm if the right wrist is bent and you are tracing the original plane line will point out to right field if you laid a dowel down the angle of the forearm. Jack is also on-plane here . . . but if the club is pointing at the plane line . . . no problems here . . . model stuff to copy.
